With games such as Second Life and, well, any 3-D environment, this mouse can be used to navigate through the online world of Second Life where using a normal mouse just sounds ridiculous. Just like some BMWs out there, 3Dconnexion’s mouse has a cap that has the ability to slide, go down, and go every which way. To use it, you move and use the Space Navigator with your nondominate hand and use your dominant hand to use the old mouse so you can apply actions while moving in space. With this new mouse, users can not only navigate with ease, but navigate with style. Just like the joysticks of old, this new model is coming to do that and better. Now I’m able to fly my character through Second Life’s realms and maneuver better than ever before. The new Space Navigator is also for a decent price as well. It’s a cheap $59 and it is well worth it for what it allows you to do. It eliminates the habit of having to go from keyboard to mouse as well as look cool.

I think this product is going to be a big hit for people who play sims and games that aren’t very dynamic. It is a neat tool that everyone can enjoy and learn fast. I’m looking to possibly get this and a new processor for my computer. If all goes well, I can head over to my brothers and get on Second Life and use this puppy and see what it can really do. I still miss the old joysticks though, I used to have one but it’s really, really old now. If you are looking to buy this product, you can visit the official site and check it out.
